<p class='main'><hr/><span class="date">2017-01-12:</span> How '<a href="free.htm">Free</a> as in <a href="free.htm">Free</a>dom' Will Finally <a href="win.htm">Win</a><br/>
<br/>
The GNU GPL is a mysterious <a href="copy.htm">copy</a>right license that <a href="use.htm">use</a>s private <a href="proper.htm">proper</a>ty <a href="own.htm">own</a>ership to <a href="creat.htm">creat</a>e a <a href="wall.htm">wall</a>ed garden within the immaterial realm.<br/>
<br/>
The rules of this <a href="trad.htm">trad</a>e agreement are designed to <a href="insur.htm">insur</a>e <a href="user.htm">user</a>s have the <a href="free.htm">free</a>dom to <a href="use.htm">use</a>, modify, <a href="copy.htm">copy</a> and <a href="shar.htm">shar</a>e any <a href="obj.htm">Obj</a>ect they <a href="own.htm">own</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;It does this partly by requiring every <a href="user.htm">user</a> gain at-<a href="cost.htm">cost</a> access the all the <a href="sourc.htm">Sourc</a>es <a href="need.htm">need</a>ed to change that <a href="obj.htm">Obj</a>ect.<br/>
<br/>
The <a href="term.htm">term</a> '<a href="sourc.htm">Sourc</a>es' originally meant the human-readable design of the program but now generally <a href="means.htm">means</a> the designs of whatever is being <a href="protect.htm">protect</a>ed and the designs of all the immaterial tools <a href="need.htm">need</a>ed to <a href="use.htm">use</a>, modify, <a href="copy.htm">copy</a> and <a href="shar.htm">shar</a>e those <a href="obj.htm">Obj</a>ects.<br/>
<br/>
But <a href="we.htm">we</a> live in a material world.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="we.htm">We</a> must have at-<a href="cost.htm">cost</a> access to the <a href="land.htm">land</a> and material tools <a href="need.htm">need</a>ed to <a href="use.htm">use</a>, modify, <a href="copy.htm">copy</a> and <a href="shar.htm">shar</a>e the goods and services <a href="we.htm">we</a> <a href="need.htm">need</a> to live.<br/>

<br/>
Throughout history, <a href="commun.htm">commun</a>ities have tried over and over to <a href="creat.htm">creat</a>e self-sufficient villages to <a href="make.htm">make</a> life easy when faced with the help of governments and corporations :-D<br/>
<br/>
But all too often, the original purpose of the <a href="gath.htm">gath</a>ering is forgotten, causing <a href="user.htm">user</a>s again lose <a href="control.htm">control</a> of their <a href="commun.htm">commun</a>ity.<br/>
<br/>
<a href="we.htm">We</a> can <a href="crowd.htm">crowd</a>fund the <a href="proper.htm">Proper</a>ty without <a href="debt.htm">debt</a> by <a href="sell.htm">sell</a>ing goods and servies before they are delivered.<br/>
But <a href="own.htm">own</a>ership cannot be static.&nbsp;&nbsp;It must 'flow' to those who add <a href="valu.htm">valu</a>e to others in the <a href="commun.htm">commun</a>ity.<br/>
<br/>
<a href="time.htm">Time</a> banking helps <a href="us.htm">us</a> <a href="trad.htm">trad</a>e <a href="promis.htm">Promis</a>es, but the order of operations <a href="need.htm">need</a>s some adjustment.<br/>
<a href="trad.htm">Trad</a>ing <a href="commit.htm">commit</a>ments <a href="early.htm">early</a>, before <a href="produc.htm">produc</a>tion begins, allows <a href="us.htm">us</a> to for <a href="proper.htm">Proper</a>ty on a <a href="work-to-own.htm">work-to-own</a> basis and so avoid <a href="wage.htm">wage</a>s and <a href="bill.htm">bill</a>s.<br/>
<br/>
These rules must <a href="protect.htm">protect</a> <a href="user.htm">user</a>s by assuring they gain access to the <a href="phys.htm">phys</a>ical <a href="sourc.htm">Sourc</a>es of <a href="produc.htm">Produc</a>tion for that <a href="produc.htm">produc</a>t.<br/>
<br/>
The surprisingly simple <a href="solu.htm">solu</a>tion is to treat part of <a href="profit.htm">profit</a> as the <a href="pay.htm">pay</a>er's in<a href="vest.htm">vest</a>ment in more <a href="land.htm">land</a> and tools, etc. <a href="need.htm">need</a>ed to <a href="make.htm">make</a> more <a href="copi.htm">copi</a>es of that good or service.<br/>
<br/>
Treating <a href="profit.htm">profit</a> as the <a href="pay.htm">pay</a>er's in<a href="vest.htm">vest</a>ment causes <a href="grow.htm">grow</a>th to be <a href="auto.htm">auto</a>distributed to those who paid for that <a href="grow.htm">grow</a>th.<br/>
